SHIFT THE NATION Prayer Initiative

Prayer for Australia

 12.12.25 – 12.12.26

Canberra

 

In October 2025 the Lord confirmed His call to return to Canberra for another strategic prayer assignment for Australia.

 

Take up your rod of authority!

It’s time to go back to Canberra!

 

The Lord is calling us to return to Canberra on Friday 12:12:25 to again

 ‘Shift the Nation’ and ‘re-claim our inheritance.’

 

After the ‘Shift the Nation’ prayer strike in 2017 we saw an initial turn toward godly government, however this is no longer the case.

We now see an alarmingly swift move away from our Christian standards and morality.

God is calling us to take up our godly authority in prayer and call our nation back to her identity and destiny.

 

Please join us as we go to Canberra, as the seat of national government, and in prayer call the government of our nation and the government of the body of Christ in Australia into alignment to God’s authority. As has been prophesied, we will declare over the nation her destiny as the ‘Great Southland of the Holy Spirit’ and the’ host of the end time missions movement’.

 

The Lord spoke to us through 2 Kings 13:14-17-

King Jehoash visited the prophet Elisha.Elisha told him to get a bow and arrows and shoot toward the land of his enemies.

He declared “This is the Lord’s arrow, an arrow of victory…’

Then he said, “Now pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground.” So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. 

But the man of God was angry with him. “You should have struck the ground five or six times!” he exclaimed.

 

We sense that 12:12:25 is the release of the arrow into the nation to reclaim the nation for the Kingdom of God.  We will continue every second month through 2026:

12 February, 12 April, 12 June, 12 August, 12 Oct &

 

Finish our Shift the Nation Prayer strike in Canberra

on

12 Dec 2026

We will have shot an arrow and struck the ground 7 strikes the # of completion

 

You are invited to join us Friday 12:12:25 in Canberra

1) Meet in Canberra this year on 12.12.25. We will begin at Old Parliament House where we had the final event for Shift the Nation 2017.

2) Join together for a Worship Watch, enthroning Jesus over the nation and declaring God’s word to our nation.

3) Make our way up to New Parliament House  - symbolic of the arrow shot in victory. (The event will be approximately 3 hrs.)

 

In preparation:

1)     We will be on-line in prayer for this event every Thursday & Sunday night at 7pm Queensland time beginning Thursday 13th Nov. until the event on 12th December 2025.

 

Cheryl Lindley’s Zoom Meeting ID: 241 728 2145

 

2)     We will also be doing a Daniel Fast from Tuesday 11.11 – 12.12.25 and take up our authority as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God in the earth, with a prophetic voice, to ‘Shift the Nation’ into alignment with the authority of the Kingdom of God.

 

 

Please join us in the coming months

 

Many blessings,

Cheryl and Bruce Lindley

Prophetic Word of Encouragement from Cheryl Lindley - 11:11:25

Shift the Nation 12:12.2025-26

As my plane took off for Canberra this morning, I heard the Holy Spirit’s encouragement.

‘Take off,

Get up to speed,

Break through the sound barrier!

The sounds of this world and the voices, especially in the political space and even throughout the nation are speaking chaos, negative, blurred, compromised and underhanded deceit and lies.

It is speaking discouragement and impending disaster.

But you must speak my words of life!

Come beyond the sound barrier, break through the sounds of the earth and into the sounds of heaven - hear from the heavenly realm anf speak from the heavenly realm.

Break through the ‘speak’ of this world and those who speak loosely agreeing with demise and destruction for the nation.

Burst into a higher realm with words of faith, words of hope, and words of love from the higher, lighter, clearer heavenly realm.

Use these words to pierce the darkened atmosphere over the nation.

Use my ‘arrow of victory’ (2Kings 13:14) to break through and then continue to strike and push back the darkness, opening the skies over the nation to release freedom to the land.

Fill the canopy of praise, already established over this nation with My sounds in worship.

Fill it with My presence and glory as you lift My praise, My authority and the power of My name, to bring the nation into her inheritance to rescue and save this people who are My own and called for My purposes.

This nation is mine, Ive bought it with a price.

Claim it for My inheritance!

Cheryl

When you sleep between sharpened stakes, I see you sparkling like silver and glistening like gold, covered by the beautiful wings of a dove!  When the Almighty found a king for himself, it became white as snow in his shade.  15-16 O huge, magnificent mountain, you are the mighty kingdom of God!  All the other peaks, though impressive and imposing, look with envy on you, Mount Zion! For Zion is the mountain where God has chosen to live forever.  

Jesus said, his death and resurrection in victory, bought forth the establishing of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. His Kingdom rule is over all and above all other kingdoms. His magnificent Kingdom is established from Mt. Zion. His awesome authority is made known through His people, His Kingdom people who take up their authority and rule and reign in the earth. So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you doorways of eternity!  Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you.  

Pray: Release greater dimensions of your Kingdom to me and through me. Lord we open wide our hearts and minds to receive and release greater dimensions of your Kingdom glory and the knowledge of your gospel into the earth.

Decree: We surrender to the whirlwinds of awakening and the greater release of the kingdom through us!


Day 10: 17.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day 35)

Ps.68:11-12. God Almighty declares the word of the gospel with power,  and the warring women of Zion deliver its message: “The conquering legions have themselves been conquered. Look at them flee!” Now Zion’s women are left to gather the spoils.

The gospel of the Kingdom is released at the sound of My voice!! The overcoming power of My love through the death and resurrection of My Son is the sound that reverberates from heaven, with the power to transform the earth. Release the sound of My gospel, let the full effect of its power conquer all the power of the enemy in the nations. Go out to bring in my harvest, for NOW is the time of harvest, Now is the day of salvation!! Do not delay, call My weary ones home!! From the North, South, East and West, let My winds of change disrupt the communications and the plans of world powers until the sound of My gospel is the loudest sound heard across the nations.  

Pray: Lord, let the sound of the gospel increase across the nations. Let your voice of salvation be heard thought out every people group. Silence the noise of the nations and their plans and let your voice be prominent in the earth.

Decree: Let God arise, his enemies be scattered and the word of the gospel magnified in the earth! Decree: Jesus has won the victory for the earth!!


Day 9: 16.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day 34)

Ps.68:10 So there your people settled. And in your kindness you provided the poor with abundance.   There is never any season I bring you through where you cannot access My provision for your journey. Come to Me, Come to Me, Come to Me and walk with Me in the difficult seasons of life. Journey with Me through these seasons and you will understand and see the road before you.

You will understand and comprehend My ways and My dealings and you will rejoice in My comfort and My loving kindness when you fully understand the path you are on. Don’t neglect Me or run from Me in these seasons. Believe that I am that I am. I am everything you need Me to be and I am always with you.  

Pray: that we will embrace the everlasting love of the Father as He draws us to himself by His grace. Thank you Lord for your loving kindness, we receive your comfort.

Decree: Lord, you love abounds to your children and we receive from you grace upon grace to go from victory to victory in your presence. Lord, we receive you as our great ‘I Am.’


Day 8: 15.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day 33)

Ps.68:9 You, O God, sent the reviving rain upon your weary inheritance, showers of blessing to refresh it.   When you navigate the waste and desert lands, I lead and guide you for I know the wrestle and hardships this path brings.

But it is my delight to send My reviving, restoring, replenishing rains upon you. Look for My rains of blessing, encouragement, favour and peace, for I will surely send what you need in the desert season – so much rain that it will barely seem like a desert at all.  

Pray: that we look diligently to the Lord and walk with Him in peace as we navigate the roads of hardship in our lives. Pray for the outworking of His spirit to complete the work He has begun in us to the praise of His glory.

Decree: The glory of the Lord is manifesting over our lives to work in us greater dimensions of glory and victory.


Day 7: 14.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day 32)  

Ps.68:8 The earth shook beneath your feet; the heavens filled with clouds before the presence of the God of Sinai. The sacred mountain shook at the sight of the face of Israel’s God.  

When I come down upon the earth, the earth receives me with fear and trembling for it knows it’s creator to whom it is ultimately subject. Take a lesson from the earth and learn to fear My powerful name and My presence when I make myself known to you.

Honour My name and My presence and stand in awe and you will understand more fully and receive more vastly from My presence when I manifest around you and within you. Harken to the sound of My voice and bow low in the place of My manifested presence.  

Pray: That as His great power manifests upon the earth, that the body of believers will rise up and enforce His victory in our lives, homes, communities and nations!

Decree: Lord, we yield to the majesty of your Spirit among us and we stand in awe and reverence at your presence as it manifests in the earth!


Day 6: 13.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day 31)

Ps.68:7 O Lord, it was you who marched in front of your people, leading them through the wasteland.  

There is always a wasteland to be navigated on the way to promise. This is the place of preparation and pruning. This is the place of humility and surrender that empowers you for victory.

Do not despise the waste and desert places, for they are fashioning you to maintain the victory and carry the glory!   Pray: That we will surrender to the pathway of promise before us.

Pray we embrace the way of the cross into victory!

Decree: I am stepping into the victory dimension of His glory within me!


Day 5: 12.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day 30)

Ps.68:5-6 To the fatherless he is a father. To the widow he is a champion friend. The lonely he makes part of a family. The prisoners he leads into prosperity until they sing for joy. This is our Holy God in his Holy Place! But for the rebels there is heartache and despair.   

I heard the Lord say: My life is the life of a father. I father and shepherd My people and I watch over them diligently. I know the dreams and the restrictions of each one’s life. I know the plans and the purposes I have for each one, ever leading, ever guiding, ever leading in triumph for My name’s sake.   My name and the knowledge of My name resounds through the heavens with untold majesty commandeering all at the sound of My voice.

You must harken to the sound of My voice to live in the place of victory.  

Pray: That we hear and acknowledge the power of the voice of the Lord resounding among us!

Decree: Lord we harken to your majestic voice and join you in releasing the victory of the Kingdom among us!


Day 4: 11.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day 29)

Ps.68:4 Let them sing their celebration-songs for the coming of the cloud rider whose name is Yah!   Celebration songs are victory songs. Victory laps are common in heaven, for every and even the smallest victory is celebrated with praise and thanksgiving to God.  

Pray: That the celebrations of heaven will erupt in His people on the earth as they see the overcoming power of His Kingdom rule!

Decree: I will celebrate along with heaven and give Jesus praise and honour for every victory won!


Day 3: 10.5.25 (Counting the Omer, Day28)

But let all the righteous be glad! Yes, let them all rejoice in your presence and be carried away with gladness. Let them laugh and be radiant with joy!   Those who truly believe will laugh for they believe that nothing is too difficult for their King. When the King takes His throne to rule and reign who in heaven and on earth would dare to stand against Him.  

Pray: Rejoice before the King! Honour His Lordship in your life!

Decree: He is above all and over all. He rules and reigns over the nations! The Lord’s plans will succeed!!


Day 2: 9.5.23 (Counting the Omer Day27)  

Ps.68:3:

But let all the righteous be glad! Yes, let them all rejoice in your presence and be carried away with gladness. Let them laugh and be radiant with joy! 4Let them sing their celebration-songs for the coming of the cloud rider whose name is Yah!  

Take today to rejoice in the Lord. ‘Pray without ceasing in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you’! 1 Thess.  

Rejoice that the Lord is still on the throne! Rejoice and welcome more of His power upon the earth!

 

Open the gates in the earth for which you are responsible and declare the Lord is welcome to come in with His power and rule in our homes, families, churches communities and nations!  

Sing new songs to Him. Make up new songs and release new sounds, dance and celebrate that the Lord has come to overthrow the enemy’s plans across the nations!  

Decree: Our God reigns. He rules in righteousness and He has come to take up His authority and reign!

Day 1: 8.5.23 (Counting the Omer Day 26)  

Ps.68:1: God! Arise with awesome power, and every one of your enemies will scatter in fear! 2Chase them away—all these God-haters. Blow them away as a puff of smoke. Melt them away like wax in the fire. One good look at you and the wicked vanish.  

We are indeed in a time where God has risen to shake the heavens and the earth. He has come to judge principalities and powers that are ruling the people and the nations. Thank God that He has heard the cry of the oppressed and He has risen with His awesome power to set the people free.

Decree: Let God continue to arise in power and scatter His enemies!  

In situations where you or others you know are being oppressed by the enemy, ask the Lord to rise powerfully against all demonic oppression and to deliver all from the pain, disruption and disease that the enemy has caused.

Decree: We have been delivered and we are free to live in abundant life!!  

Pray that God rises to show himself strong on behalf of His people.

Decree: ‘God rules in the midst of His enemies!’  

Pray that God’s people will let go of any association with the powers of darkness that are being judged, so that they will be freed from these powers as they flee.

Decree: ‘Those who God has set free are free indeed!’  

Pray that the people of God will recognise, embrace and rejoice as God rises to push back the power of the enemy.

Decree: We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring shift and change!! We rise to give thanks in all circumstances for the Lord is working all things together for our good!!
